No, it's the late great Arthur English

How is withholding your hard earned cash now any different to those who chose to withhold theirs before?

Baton down the hatches...

You can buy a ticket and not turn up....

I've never had to show my card when picking up tickets on the day of the game. Usually just give my surname then they ask for first line of address before handing over envelope

Nice one BTW.

Your wish is my command my flexible friend....

Sounds good to me. Do we know how deeply this has been looked into by the Football Club directors and/or the Administrator of SLH? One would hope that they haven't just brushed off the idea without fine tooth combing it?

Anyone know how much of their allocation Burnley have sold? Would it be worth posting a rallying call on their fan forum(s) too? I guess it's a bit short notice for a Burnley fan to decide to come down at the last minute but if every little helps....?

Cheers. So does that enhance the Football League's stance, or ours, in the dispute over the rules?

I can't go but will buy a ticket at the last minute (just in case we get close to a full house as I wouldn't want to ironically deprive someone of a seat - unlikely I know). How about those season ticket holders who can afford it also buy a 'ghost' ticket tomorrow morning before leaving for the ground? A bit of a big ask given your long term committment to the club through season ticket purchase but as Duncan says, it could (will) make all the difference.

If the Football Club is sold will the PLC stay in administration? If the answer to this is 'yes' wouldn't it blow the Football League 'forensic evidence' out of the water? Of course, equally, if the PLC did come out of Administration upon the sale of the Football Club it would 'blow our cover', wouldn't it? So, the question again.... If the Football Club is sold will the PLC stay in administration?

What time? Am about to pop out for lunch - will I miss the announcement? Thanks

Exactly the sort of lateral thinking the club needs. (But would you be prepared to lose your £xxx if the mug smashed on the floor?) Surely someone 'in charge' at the moment can exercise the grey matter to get around this self-defeating conundrum with regards season tickets?

If it helped saved the club, who would buy a season ticket if they had to sign away their consumer rights to a refund if the club went under? Bear in mind that the actual sale of season tickets would render the consumer risk low so a 'win win' surely? Who would waive their consumer rights to save the club?

Good spot. Mods - please update to preserve the credibility of this thread. Thanks

Get everyone who buys a season ticket to agree to terms and conditions that waives this consumer protection? i.e. shift the risk to the consumer in this case. Isn't this consumer protection law a self-defeating constraint? i.e. Club needs guaranteed income to stay afloat but can't generate said income because we may not stay afloat.... No wonder the whole financial system has gone up it's own arse

No. Not saying he wouldn't be suitable/capable but it's top-to-bottom clean sweep for me.

Is Lowe keeping quiet at the moment because he's under "legal advice" to do so or could it be that he's somehow connected to one of the 'interested parties' and as such is subject to an NDA? Got to be one of the two, hasn't it?
